"Olivia is a very thorough, engaging and dedicated careers coach. Our sessions always offered much needed clarity and I left each one with a new-found sense of buoyancy and direction.

Kirsten Cottone, Director of Talent Quests Australia, June 2016.

"Olivia has recently provided career coaching including reviewing and assessing my resume and online profile as I look to transition into a new industry. In a small amount of time she was able to provide me with valuable and succinct feedback which was actionable. Her help allowed me to get a better understanding of my own personal strengths and weaknesses and the areas I need to improve in as I look to transition my career.
